I think you just have to be smart. If your goal is to have History or English major - then you probably shouldn't go to the most expensive private school out there. Instead, you should focus on getting good grades/scholarships (which I'm guessing a History major is a fairly decent student) and consider the CC/JC route if those don't pan out. I guarantee if someone is interested in Literature, History, English or a similar major, they have the ability to get good enough grades for scholarships either out of HS or after 2 years at a JC.
